We already have at least six copies of this helper:

fs/btrfs/qgroup.c:#define u64_to_ptr(x) ((struct btrfs_qgroup *)(uintptr_t)x)
kernel/bpf/syscall.c:static void __user *u64_to_ptr(__u64 val)
drivers/staging/android/ion/ion_test.c:#define u64_to_uptr(x) ((void __user *)(unsigned long)(x))
drivers/firewire/core-cdev.c:static void __user *u64_to_uptr(u64 value)
drivers/staging/android/ion/ion_test.c:#define u64_to_uptr(x) ((void __user *)(unsigned long)(x))
include/linux/kernel.h:#define u64_to_user_ptr(x) (            \

Just use the one in linux/kernel.h
